The first tooth fairy visit...

WOW! I can't believe it... Sam has finally lot her first tooth!

Her 2 bottom BIG teeth came in months ago and have been pushing her little baby teeth forward and forward and forward until they were sooooo wiggly and just barely hanging on.

Scott tied some dental floss to the tooth that was the most loose and gave her an order to 'GET THAT TOOTH OUT'. She whined, she cried, she complained; her fear of the unknown is what kept her from touching that tooth at all. When I had finally had enough of her crying that it was going to hurt or that it was going to bleed I walked over to her and said pull it out right now. She cried some more so I grabbed the floss hanging from her mouth and as she turned her head to get away from me out popped her tooth. In that instance the look of shock of how pain-free that whole ordeal was made it absolutely priceless. Her grin could not get any bigger.

The very generous tooth fairy came and delivered her $5... but this lump sum payout was a one-time thing. The tooth fairy is working on lean mean times and from now on will be paying out in much smaller denominations.

Random photos...

Whenever I have a photo shoot planned at my house in my little “studio” I always beg and plead with the kiddos to sit for just a second so that I can get the lights and set up just right before the actual shoot. Well, in doing that, I always end up with the most random of photos... ENJOY! [taken December 2011]

Brody stories...

Here’s another Brody story for ya... A few weeks ago the kids put in a Wii game to play. Shortly after the game began Samantha calmly walked over to me at my desk and in a super low voice said, ‘umm Mom, Brody just said a bad word’. Mind you we have taught our kids that words like stupid, jerk and shut up are all bad words so I wasn’t sure what to believe or expect. I then said ‘are you sure it was a REAL bad word’...to which she enthusiastically said, ‘oh, I’m definitely SURE this is a bad word’. Well, not wanting to spoil the plot I told her not to tell me and that I will just have him tell me. I called Brody over and with an oh-so-cool-matter-of-fact-tone I just asked Brody what he said while playing the Wii game? In his equally oh-so-cool-matter-of-fact-tone he said [referring to the Wii game] ‘oh, I just told Sam let’s get in there and kick their ass’! I know the boy should have had a bar of soap shoved in his mouth, but really??!! How can you not chuckle...or in my ca...
